Help with php

[grOOvy]

Hello!



I have been modifying external.php and have managed to create a news script in PHP without using JS/XML/RSS. However, I need some tiny bit of help. The post.pagetext that is stored inside $threads is all in a single line. All the linebreaks are lost! Is there any way to read the data while retaining the new lines/line breaks?



Another small question I had was whether we have access to a function which converts bbcode to HTML? I know vbulletin has this mechanism somewhere since we see HTML code in threads and posts.



Thank you for your replies in advance.

use the function n2lbr() it will restore the linebreaks

to the best of my knowledge bbcode to html is written into the bbcode_parse() function or was it parse_bbcode() the first i think :)

Thank you very much, the function was parse_bbcode2(x,x,x,x,x); and it all worked fine. :-)
